OBJECTIVE: Determine if the short interpregnancy interval is a risk factor for low birth weight. METHODS: An observational, retrospective study of cases and controls was carried out. The sample consisted of 345 perinatal clinical records of mothers with neonates treated in the Neonatology Area of the Bethlehem Hospital of Trujillo between 2015 - 2017 (Group cases - LBW = 115, Control group - without LBW = 230), in addition the influence was analyzed of intervening variables such as anemia and parity. RESULTS: The average age of mothers of neonates with and without low birth weight was 28.41 ± (7.20) years and 26.84 ± (6.53) years respectively (p = 0.043). The average gestational age among the cases was 32.23 ± (4.17) weeks and in the controls 39.02 ± (1.22) weeks. The majority of the mothers came from an urban area (67.8% vs 79.6%) and with high school education (48.7% vs. 63%), presenting statistical significance. The frequency of the short interpregnancy interval in neonates with low birth weight was 32% and in neonates without low birth weight it was 21%. The bivariate analysis showed that the short interpregnancy interval presented a statistically significant association, with an Odds Ratio of 1,752 and a value of p = 0.028 (Chi2 = 4,840, 95% CI: 1,060 - 2,897). In the multivariate analysis, the short interpregnancy interval and the high parity presented statistical significance (OR 1,829 [1,09 - 3,05], p = 0,021). CONCLUSIONS: Mothers with a short interpregnancy interval are more likely to have children with low birth weight; even if they have high parity.
